Who's going where?

[Dendave]

It's not to early to start planning, right? I will be in Cleveland and Atlanta

2008 schedule set.

With second place in the AFC West wrapped up, the Broncos' 2008 schedule is set. Denver's non-AFC West home games will be against Buffalo, Jacksonville, Miami, New Orleans and Tampa Bay. Its non-AFC West road games will be against Cleveland, New England, the New York Jets, Atlanta and Carolina.

[Blueflame]

Our 2008 plans will totally be determined by the outcome of Meck's fight against RTD... in the event that a compromise can be reached where he still retains at least a portion his tailgate lot, we'll no doubt be coming to Denver in September as usual for a division game.

[Sassy]

Depends on the schedule!
A Denver game and probably San Diego away game...unless it's Christmas Eve or Thanksgiving...

[Los Broncos]

Ill make it out to Denver next season, then of course SD too.

[PaintballCLE]

Ill be at the Cleveland game (haha its a 10 min drive for me woohoo) probably NE, ATL, NYJ, CAR, and KC of course that depends on the schedule.

[Hogan11]

Looks like a replay of 2006 for me, depending upon the dates the actual games fall.

Denver, Cleveland & San Diego.

[PaintballCLE]

If anyone is interested in my (2) season tickets for the browns/broncos game let me know..... upper dawg pound, about 30 rows up.......face is 80 - for both......not a bad view........gives you the "total clevleand fan experience" haha

I'll keep it in mind if the dates jive....we were in the other EZ that year, the fans around us were pretty cool. I was expecting the worst, especially when getting "asshole" chants everyplace else I went in Broncos gear that day Ha!

[missingnumber7]

Looking for 2 games next year...home game and SD. Then again it depends if I get the job in the springs it could be more. But defenately looking forward to the mane weekend, and going to SD again.

[smalltowngrll]

It's just too far to plan in advance.

BUT, if things work out ideally...I'll be coming out for a Raider or KC home game and an away game somewhere...maybe San Diego! And, I think I'll be at a few of the Seahawk games, too. Ha! Can I wear Broncos gear to a Seahawk game? ROFL!

Ha! Well, too bad he isn't a Bronco fan...the best of both worlds! ;D

Denver, Cleveland, San Diego....according to my better half :~ohyah!:

[PaintballCLE]

some of the games next year i will be going by myself.......most of the time i have to buy 2 tickets..........so if anyone needs an extra ticket or someone to go with let me know. The season isn't even over yet and i already can't wait for next year..........hopefully the defense shows up and we can get some help on the O line.

[ol number 7]

Depends on the schedule!
A Denver game and probably San Diego away game...unless it's Christmas Eve or Thanksgiving...

It's my Denver year next season so one in Denver, probably KC and thinking the Jets game. Going to the Pro Bowl this year.

[missingnumber7]

^5 :yayaya:

I told Sarah that one of the Grandmas can take all three grandkids and we can all have a little fun;) That and another free trip to seaworld, thank you Anheuser Busch.

[Calif. Bronco]

San Diego for sure (unless it's Christmas Eve again like this year) ugh!~

I'll also make it to Denver at least once and it might be a good time to visit the relatives in Western Pennsylvania (about 75 miles or so from Cleveland) :thumbs:

[Sassy]

:thumbs: When's the baby due again? I forget...even though I've asked before!

[chadta]

if i dont do denver next year itll be cleveland for me, hell i may do cleveland anyhow just so i can go down to the flats the night before.

[27atwater]

I'll be in Cleveland and likely no more than 2 others. It's looking like The Jets and Panthers being the most likely...maybe Atlanta. It will all depend on how this scheedule merges w/ the Mets and Tennessee Vols home schedules.

[Dendave]

if i dont do denver next year itll be cleveland for me, hell i may do cleveland anyhow just so i can go down to the flats the night before.

There are no more "flats"...the hot district is the "warehouse district"

[broncocalijohn]

Too early for this thread until dates come out. I learned this from last year before we knew that SD was on CHristmas Eve. Once the schedule comes out, then the poll will begin. I am looking at SD, at Carolina and OM weekend in Denver.

[PaintballCLE]

There are no more "flats"...the hot district is the "warehouse district"

yes you are right..... the flats is going under serious renovations, half of it is gone, the other half is pretty dead. (the comedy clubs, and strip clubs, and rock bottom are still open)

The hot spots right now are the Wharehouse district (downtown, must be nice dressed),
E4th st (my favorite....house of blues, picwick and frolic, hillarities comedy club, many bars close to jacobs field, and quicken loans arena.

Ohio city area........about a 4 min drive from downtown, or free ride on the busses. Home to the world famous great lakes brewery, clubs, and bars. Plenty of street parking in this area.

The suburbs are starting to take over too.... out near westlake (very upscale area wher emost of the players live) there is rocky river brewing co (GREAT) dave and busters, clubs, bars etc.

If any of you guys are going to the cleveland game, get ahold of me when you go to book your hotels. Ill let you know which ones are best depending where you want to be (IE close to browns stadium, the wharehouse district, suburbs etc...)

if the broncos play cleveland in sept try to check out an indians game at jacobs field..... one of the nicest parks in the US and ive been to 20 of them!

I stay at the Lakeshore Holiday Inn Select or the Holiday Inn Express on Euclid whenever I'm in Cleveland. The Lakeshore gets a bad rap but I've never had a problem there at all (I actually perfer it). Another great thing about that hotel is the Beachland Ballroom rate...ultra cheap if you're going to a show at that indie rock venue (and I'm talking like $55-65 bucks here).

The Beachland or the Grog Shop is where I'll be if there's any decent shows happening at that time. The HoB is okay, but a bit too ritzy for my liking. I like a couple of places around the Jake but they're far from glamorus...Mr. Bill's is a cool dive and a stop at the former Cooperstown (now Local Legends I believe)...both stops for me have become a tradition of sorts.

[Sassy]

Of course, he doesn't mind the Lakeshore...if I'm there ;D

[chadta]

There are no more "flats"...the hot district is the "warehouse district"

ok velvet dog it is then, shows how long its been since ive been to Cleveland, an for the record i like the holiday inn select too, walking distance to the rock and roll hall of fame, stadium and everything else, heck we even walked home from the velvet dog at 3 am with our travellers, do they still do that in ohio ? let ya buy a beer or 2 ta take with you when you leave the bar at closing time?

If you like going to the beachland, better do it this time because its supposed to be closing up within a few years.

The grog shop moved.......its till in the same area but further up and across the street....so don't fret if you go there and you dont see it.

Peabodys concert club (www.peabodys.com) is taking most of the local shows away from the grog shop and beachland. So make sure to check them out too to see whos playing there.

as for the bars around jacobs field..... there are some newer ones that are nice too. like the clevelander....big sports bar.

The Boneyard, winking lizard, bottoms up area is cool too.

and chad, they really cracked down on taking the beers to go....however there are a bunch of corner stores downtown that are open 24/7 (near reserve square) that will sell beer after the 1am deadline for a $5/per 12 pack surcharge..........bas%@$ds.

Also for you smokers......All of ohio is totally smoke free including browns stadium.....they dont even let you outside to smoke anymore. And at the bars, you have to go outside and be 15 feet away from the entrance. (the distance from the entrance really isn't enforced but my friend did get a ticket once in the wharehouse district for that.)

And if anyone thats going wants to go to the football hall of fame (40 min drive) i can get discount tickets so just send me a message.

I would also reccomend parking in the cleveland muni lots $15 for the game..... nothing but over a mile of tailgaters. Deffinately a must see for any football fan.........but expect to get hotdogs, beer cans, etc thrown at you wearing broncos gear lol

The Muni lot is what I reconmended last year, but it got all confused and Bum and the group found a private lot...I tailgated in the Muni lot with my brother and his friends (about 50 of us total) I was the only one in Bronco gear and I had no problems other than the typical "Broncos Suck" every once in awhile...I do recomend trying the Muni lot next year...but the planning for this is still a ways away

I go out to Cleveland on average a couple times a year, so yeah, I was aware of the Grog Shop move but didn't know the Beachland was going to close anytime soon...that sucks as I love that place. I've only been to Peabody's once and that was cool, so all is well.

I like those bars around the Jake, good places down there.

[Popcorn Sutton]

I'll be at Cleveland, Carolina and Atlanta.... It looks like we have quite a few headed to Cleveland... We'll have to get a nice tailgate going there.

[Hawaii_Guy]

A lot of people that I talk to say they are going to Carolina next year. I would love to see that become a huge game. If anyone wants to get tickets with my wife and I just let us know no later then about a week after the schedule comes out. and As I said last year if anyone wants to do all 16 with us let us know.

My wife and I will be there... would love to sit by some fellow Maners. I'll make sure to get in contact with you when tickets are released.

i think i told you I am game at the SD game. Meck77 likes that one also if i recall. THose fans tailgate big time and even had one of their big times on one of the BBQ special on some food channel. I jus thope it doesnt fall on Xmas but with my brother 2 hours away, good time to visit. I can get tickets through the Broncos but it is not known until Wednesday before the game. We can go group route through the Panthers or look on places like ebay or stub hub to get as close to everyone as possible. We got until April.
BTW: I would love to check out the Civil War goodies since I am a History Channel buff.

[Meck77]

My wife and I will be there... would love to sit by some fellow Maners. I'll make sure to get in contact with you when tickets are released.

I'm looking at this game also. Never been to the area. I dropped a post on the http://www.pantherfanz.net/bbs/default.asp board to get some early info from them. They are a real nice group of tailgaters who should be able to help us out with logistics.

[PaintballCLE]

hawaiiguy...... there is no way i can do all 16 with school and stuff.....but im shooting for 8. So keep me updated on the ticket situation when the schedule comes out.

PS. If anyone needs tickets to the browns game next year and the year after let me know once you decide if your going to the game. I can get good tickets cheap.

[Hawaii_Guy]

Kevin, That would be great if you made 8!! Just name them and we can try to get tickets together. What 8 are you thinking? I know Broncos Billy will also want to sit next to us for the cleveland game... We should all try to get group tickets to the Panthers game.

[broncocalijohn]

I just went to their website and realize the guy I was talking about on the Food channel is the same guy who passed away. Bummer. I was looking to party with that guy and eat some of that tasty food. I think this trip is still a go though. They need a name for their bus. Should I sign up and suggest OF2? That might not go over so well.

[PaintballCLE]

The 8 would be Cle, NE, NYJ, Car, Atl, Kc, Oak, and a game in denver ( dont know which one yet) Of course i wont know for sure till the schedule comes out.......gotta make sure it gels with school and midterms etc..... So if a game falls on a monday it might change things. Ill let you know for sure when the schedule comes out.......and I am all for the group tickets!

I'm looking forward to meeting you guys and seeing OF1 in person. I hope you make it out for this game.

[Bronco Billy]

Damn, IBOB! Travelling to 8 games is impressive!

We're going to try to make 3 or 4. Our choices so far (depending on the schedule and whether or not Julie's pregnant):

1. Cleveland - 5 hour drive w/ outdoor stadium. The weather can't possible be more miserable than '06, though the outcome was great! If we try going with group tickets, we should use IBOB's mailing address since he lives in Ohio. If that's okay with IBOB? Remember last year? Indy didn't even look at our request because it was from out-of-state.

2. New England: CrowPointer's been giving me the business for a couple years now and I told him I'd make it there. Definitely depends on schedule.
Plus, Hawaii Guy isn't as excited about this game as the other raod trips, so we'll keep him company!

T3. Carolina: Never been there and the Broncos won't be there again for years. Plus, it seems like the place to be right now. We should find someone in NC for a mailing address if they play the "Colts" game with group tickets.

T3. Denver home game: With only one game w/in driving distance, this could be the year we finally make it to the promised land!

Others: Atlanta, @ KC. We could probably drive to either one of these. We'll see how finances are and if Julie's expecting. @SD - Very unlikely, but not ruling it out yet.

Is it too early to start talking about '09????

[Bronco Billy]

I'm looking forward to meeting you guys and seeing OF1 in person. I hope you make it out for this game.

Friendly advice, bud. You can't assume that Meck will bring OF1 to NC if he does make it to the game. That's a long-ass haul just to drive. Plus, gas prices are outrageous. ^5

[Sassy]

When I read this I was thinking he'd better send Meck his Mastercard :giggle:

[broncocalijohn]

I think Meck is picking up Broncos fans throughout the nation on that one highway to get to Carolina. Have your gas credit card handy.

[Meck77]

I have plenty of work left to try and save the home tailgate lot before I can commit to any road trips with the bus. Would love to hit a couple on the same trip though. The game schedule or my schedule just hasn't seem to line up lately. CaliJohn diesel is expensive but it's nothing compared to the mess and expense eminent domain can cause a land owner. Anyhow BrewCrew there is more info on the maniac discussion forum about this and on my blog. I don't want to derail this thread with my problem.

[Popcorn Sutton]

Doh! I should have thought that one out a little bit first. :stupid:

[Florida_Bronco]

I have every intention of being at the Tampa Bay game.

[PaintballCLE]

Damn, IBOB! Travelling to 8 games is impressive!

haha yeah.....I am going to try....ill probably be driving to them all......so it depends on gas and stuff.......but i have so much vacation at work that im going to lost it at the end of the year if i dont use it up so i am going to try as hard as i can.

As far as being pregnant..... congrats if she is.........lets just hope she doesn't pop out a little raiders fan HAHA sorry low blow.

as for 09......they are in cleveland again....2 games ill have to drive all of 15 minutes for.....cant beat that!

And as for the group tickets......i dont mind using my address at all......although like i said on other posts..... i have a friend thats a local ticket broker (unfortunately he only deals in local stuff or else i would use him for everything) so if the group is small enough.......(under 12 or so) i can usually get tickets through him at face or near it for "good" tickets...... so it depends on where everyone wants to sit and how many we need.

I got tickets through him a couple times this year and i had front row lower level (although between the 5 and goalline) but they were only 65 a piece. So let me know everyones thoughts on tickets as the time comes.

And as for the weather cannot be any worse?????? I went to the browns/bills game this year..........that was insane.......although quite fun.


Do any of you guys go to the preseason games? If there are any close i might go since the tickets are so cheap and i can knock some stadiums off my list.

Can't wait for next season!!!!!!

IBOAB

[PaintballCLE]

PS.... the official browns ticket exchange is at www.viagogo.com (http://www.viagogo.com) good way to get cheap tickets.

[ak1971]

Im going to New England to kick Crowpointer in the nuts

[Hawaii_Guy]

IBOAB I hope you can make all 8 games If you need tickets in Denver We always have 2 extra at the start of the season and most of the time sell them off by the end. So just let me know. We can always get tickets together for any game. Maybe if Billy was a true man he would just say see you at 7-8 of his maybe's :) (I'll get a phone call for that one) So two big days coming till the next season, Draft day, and Schedule day. I like knowing where I am going to be when.. So is CalJohn coming to Oakland this year?

Yeah hawaii_guy i should be at all 8......as long as i can tickets with you guys/someone else because ill be going to most of the games by myself. Once the schedule comes out illhave a better read on which ones for sure and we can talk then about tickets. And as for your comment on Billy.......are you sure you want him to go to 7-8.......every game he goes to we lose..........HAHA sorry billy had to throw that one in there.

[24champ]

I am going to make most of the Home games, and possibly the away game in New York. I know some Jet fans and have lots of relatives, family, friends in Long Island to see before the game. Just crossing my fingers that the game is scheduled on a good date.

[Bronco Billy]

Doh! I should have thought that one out a little bit first. :stupid:

No big deal. You weren't the first to make that assumption and sure as hell won't be the last! I've made that mistake too, that's how I know. ^5

[Bronco Billy]

Maybe if Billy was a true man he would just say see you at 7-8 of his maybe's :) (I'll get a phone call for that one)

Dude, you know I'd be there if I could (with work, Julie's work, and expenses.) Although I think you already know this, otherwise you wouldn't be giving me crap about it! Each close game cost about $500 for hotel, gas, tickets, beer, food, etc. Maybe I'll try staying in the suburbs and drink less at the game to cut costs! ::)

[Bronco Billy]

And as for your comment on Billy.......are you sure you want him to go to 7-8.......every game he goes to we lose..........HAHA sorry billy had to throw that one in there.

Like I said after the Bears game, if Shanahan would of called me up before the game I could have told him not to punt to Hester. Besides, Hawaii Guy is taking full responsibility and letting Bates off the hook since he changed his Sunday outfit and wore shorts all year!

[Hogan11]

Two words for you and Julie Billy......."Orangemane Weekend".

It's usually the first or second home game of the season, depending of course....there's nothing like being amongst the home fans.

I most definately will be at "OMane weekend" this year.

[Meck77]

I hope I will also. Things are going to come to a head real soon with the tailgating lot. It will be the difference of me being there or not quite honestly.

For those concerned about my eminent domain deal I will have people to call or email in a last ditch effort to save the tailgating lot. I realize not all of you live in Denver and have various degrees of time or desire to help. Those that do stay tuned.

If RTD takes the tailgate lot, it will probably make the difference in us being there or not, too.

[broncocalijohn]

Omane weekend will still live on. Just probably Lot C or maybe we go take over Archie's spot. I am sure they would just love having 30 to 40 more fans over there! MH lot helps a ton but the weekend cant stop. Let us hope we are celebrating the end of government takeover on Mecks lot.

[Meck77]

I never said it should stop Cali. I hope it gets bigger! I'm just saying I'm at the end of the line dude and so it my tailgating spot. People will continue to party before Broncos games regardless of what happens to my land. They did it before I got to MileHigh but I have pulled some people together and that is who I'm reaching out to on this final push dude.

RTD will have the parking lot rapped up in court in a few weeks and I will no longer own it by March so I'm told. Lickity split.

I wasnt questioning on you concerning the lot but to be there or not based on blueflame deciding to go . I was letting her know the party continues with or w/o the lot. I was addressing her post w/o quoting it for space reasons.

Yeah, I understood that....and I'm sure my token protest won't make a difference to Denver officials, but if they're gonna allow a travesty like what's happening to Meck (and presumably, thousands of other landowners whose land RTD and their private-developer cronies covet), I'm just not sure I want to give 'em my tourist dollars. Might be more inclined toward an away game.... I dunno.

Its all good billy......its actually my fault.......the broncos are 24-3 when i have been there.........all 3 losses came this year (yes i was 20-0 coming into this year) and at all 3 losses i didn't have my broncos foamhead on. They haven't lost when i had it on, and haven't won since i lost mine. BUt don't worry i found a new one......so lets hope this brings back the foamhead luck.

[broncocalijohn]

Anyone for Vegas? :devil: ;D


We playing in Vegas? Havent heard that one but I can tell the wife we are and I am making a road trip. That might work. Didnt we have a thread last year (or year before) on the Tailgate convention going on in Vegas? That would be a good one. I think Meck found it and posted it on here.

[Hogan11]

I most definately will be at "OMane weekend" this year.

Excellent Ryan, It'd be great to see you and Sarah again :thumbs:

Yeah, if Meck loses his lot, that'll make things difficult and less fun but I don't believe it'll deter us from going...it's my hope that even if the worst case happens, Meck'll be around some with or without the bus. Hell, visiting the guy has become a highlight of the yearly trip.

BTW, does anyone know if the Red Lion is targeted by this Fast Tracks bullshat or not? Someone should verify that one way or the other before the schedule release in April.

Vegas was discussed as an alternative in case all the games we're targeting get eukered by the schedule again like we were for the game @ Diego this past year...but with Diego, Cleveland, Charlotte & NYC to choose from...it's unlikely that'll come into play at all.

We'll see once the schedule drops in April.

[Meck77]

Although I appreciate the sentiment folks I wouldn't expect people to change plans. I still have some time to fight and am not giving up yet even though I feel like it depending on the day.

I'm just saying for me it would be hard to go from having a guaranteed place to park every game that I owned back to the run around we use to deal with.

Things have changed for me recently. It's no longer about the lot. It's no longer about the tailgating. It's about principal and property rights in Colorado. We have men and women fighting and dieing in Iraq and other areas of the world to protect our freedoms yet the enemy is much much closer. We have governments, board of citizens, laywers etc working together to steal property from people in the name of "Public progress" when it's just not the case. In some states they aren't even hiding this fact and calling it "economic development".

Denver Colorado and other municipalities are on the fence on what to call it. Lakewood isn't even hiding that fact anymore. RTD does from time to time.

If my parking lot was truly in the way of progress I would concede with my chin up high but folks it's just not the case. I have a meeting later todady with the directors of RTD yet again. I do not expect anything to come of it but more lies.

I'm switching my old D Broncos hat with a hat Master Pain and his friend dave gave me. It's a green military style Broncos hat.

Game on.

[crawdad]

Maybe that will help sway them your way Steve. Good luck my friend. I support your cause 150%.

[B-Love]

**** em up Meck!

Line up from all different positions and beat em 7 different ways, like your namesake, The Snowgoose, used to.

[B-Love]

I know it depends on when the game is, but if the Broncos at Jets is a schedule/travel friendly date, I hope to see many of you here next year.

I can set everyone up with great hotel rates and a very cool Sports Bar Saturday Night as well.

The Broncos were the Jets home opener in both 1993 and 1994, and maybe we'll get lucky with good weather again.

[Sassy]

We playing in Vegas? Havent heard that one but I can tell the wife we are and I am making a road trip. That might work. Didnt we have a thread last year (or year before) on the Tailgate convention going on in Vegas? That would be a good one. I think Meck found it and posted it on here.

I'm sorta being a smartass ;D
Hogan won't let me meet him in Vegas...He's scared ROFL!

[MOCRUSH]

Billy & Hawaii_Guy

My daughter Jenna is all fired up about going to Carolina so we may be in for that one (gotta be a fly in). Cleveland and KC look like the driving options in the family fun van. Just ran into an attorney at night court last night who lived in Denver for 10 years and is a fan, he lives close to my place so may get another STL driver involved.

[Hawaii_Guy]

MoCrush,
It would be great to see you guys again. I think this is the hardest part of the seaon, you make so many friends and in a lot of cases you may only see them 1-3times a year. Maybe you could drive to Carolina and get Billy to go also, and hey why not Atlanta also? I am going to be bugging Billy till he says he will be at both. Also KC is a close game to him and he has not been there..... come on he should have been there this year (wait then I would not have seen my win there... :) ) I normaly get the tickets the first day they go on sale for that team so just let me know what games you are going to and we will get tickets close..

[crawdad]

I am definitely up for ATL and Cleveland. Of course the O'mane weekend will be the bomb. Count me in for those three. Carolina will be on the wish list

[Hawaii_Guy]

ahhhhh now we know ATL and Cleveland will be a party, hope to see you Crawdad at Carolina it just is not a party with out you there!!!!!!!!!

[Hogan11]

ahhhhh now we know ATL and Cleveland will be a party, hope to see you Crawdad at Carolina it just is not a party with out you there!!!!!!!!!

Are you and the wife making O'Mane weekend this year HI?

[Meck77]

I don't think they've missed a game in years H. Hawaii guy needs a Barrel.

[Hogan11]

I don't think they've missed a game in years H. Hawaii guy needs a Barrel.

Yeah I know, just never recalled ever seeing them at one of the home tailgates is all. Real nice couple, it was cool seeing them again in Houston.

[Bronco Billy]

I don't think they've missed a game in years H. Hawaii guy needs a Barrel.

His streak started with the first playoff loss at Indy to end the 2003 season. I think the record for straight home and away games is 250 games by a Giants fan. Unfortunately, his streak ended after 9/11. I couldn't find anyone higher than that for the NFL. I know Pinto Kenny (I hope I got his name right?) of the Bills is over 200 and his streak is still current as far as I know.

Nothing against Barrelman or Hawaii Guy, but I don't think Hawaii Guy can fill out a barrel. Better get him a pony keg or maybe this: :angel:

[Bronco Billy]

Okay, here we go. I got it! There will only be one "Barrelman". So maybe we can call him "Pony Keg Man"? :charge:

(Photo was taken at the Lions game this year.)

[Bronco Billy]

Hawaii Guy misses his turn at Orchard Park but still makes it in time for Elam's game-winner, keeping his streak alive! Toro!

(Okay, I'm getting carried away now. Time for bed.)

[PaintballCLE]

That one actually made me laugh out loud...... good work billy!!!!

If only i had the money..... i woul dbe giving that guy a run for his money at 250! that reminds me.... gotta go play the mega millions.......hey if i hit......billy and hawaii_guy might be going to games free of charge for the rest of your lives. haha.

[Hawaii_Guy]

Hogan I normaly hang out with some of my friends to the north of the stadium but this coming year I am going to try to meet up more with Meck and the crew a few more times including mane weekend..

Billy, I have to say you take the cake... Anyhow great work with the photos.. Made me and Trisha laugh for a while. But we had a great idea, Maybe someone could send this to Heineken and get them to sponsor us.. I am not a huge drinker of Heineken but I could drink a lot if they were paying the way.. :)

Maybe have Coors light sponsor him in a can cooler. Have my hopes up for Canton. Going to Milwaukee for Harley Owners Group 25th anniversary party in August too.

[MOCRUSH]

Billy,

A true renaissance man, didn't know you were an artist too.

Hawaii_Guy,

I hadn't thought about Atlanta but that would be a good weekend, burgers at the Varsity! Its a go on Carolina for at least two. KC and Cleveland will have to work. That would make 1 game in '06, 2 in '07, 4 in '08...are you hearing footsteps yet? i just gotta have Jennifer dump the teaching gig for employment with the airlines.

ol number 7,

Mile High Salute to your basement, AWSOME! Orange and blue lights on the Christmas Tree...brillant, you never have to take it down. As soon as the weather turns we will have to make a run somewhere with the Harley and the toy car. Thanks again for the hospitality.

[smalltowngrll]

I just found out my 20 year class reunion is Sept. 20-21. I sure hope that doesn't fall on the same weekend we make OM weekend! Wait...I'm just calling it NOW...it will NOT be that weekend! ;D Any other weekend but that!

You know, I didnt think of that myself! My wife's reunion is in August and I would rather have my 20 year (still have no word from my class council) fall on the same day than have it on an OM weekend! Kerri, didnt know we were same year. So today is the 10 year anniversary of the SuperBowl victory versus the Packers and probably 20 years today my friends and I were at Fuddruckers stealing wine coolers from behind the counter and pounding them before 6th period started. MMMM, memories.

Broncos hafta be on the road that weekend, eh, STG? ;)

[smalltowngrll]

Yup! Think we need to make a call to the scheduling committee. And, we can't be on the road to NE on that weekend, either. That's one I'm planning on attending, too!

[Hogan11]

Yup! Think we need to make a call to the scheduling committee. And, we can't be on the road to NE on that weekend, either. That's one I'm planning on attending, too!

NE? Man, that's gonna cost you a mint for a ticket alone (unless you've got connections, that is).

and what's all this jazz about reunions in September?!?!? The reunions here are always held during the summer months and never later than late July....my 25th is being held in May (I think...I really don't care actually. I've learned from the 10th & 20th's that the meet & greet night is the only one worth attending, but that may just be me as formal, sit down dinners are really not my thing at all) so what's up with that?

Missing OM Weekend? Unthinkable.....that committee is just going to have to work around it.

[Hogan11]

Hogan I normaly hang out with some of my friends to the north of the stadium but this coming year I am going to try to meet up more with Meck and the crew a few more times including mane weekend..

Cool, I'm sure we'll run into each other somewhere next season....everything depends upon the scheduling and what Sass can or cannot do of course.

Julie's reunion was in September. She missed it to go to the Colts game. So STG, you have to set a good example for me so that I can point to you next year and say, "See, STG picked the Broncos over her reunion, too!"

Hogan,
I didn't think tickets were that much to NE, are they? I know Southwest flies into Boston and Providence. Foxboro's like half-way to both.

[27atwater]

Looks like a trip to Denver this year may be in the cards. WHICH game will depend on when we go to Carolina and to a point, the Tennessee Vol home schedule...but the Oakland game will be on top of my list.

[Hogan11]

Hogan,
I didn't think tickets were that much to NE, are they? I know Southwest flies into Boston and Providence. Foxboro's like half-way to both.

I just guessing on the tix Billy...usually when the team is in the Super Bowl, much less the winner and undefeated, I'm thinking the tix will go for top $ even for the worst of seats....I could be wrong though.

I haven't been out that way since 2002, but there was very little around the stadium at that time....it was in the middle of nowhere and Foxboro itself shuts down totally on gameday, I'm talking the blocking off of streets here, so manuvering is a problem.

If given the choice, take Providence...the Mansions in Newport are not to be missed and the people in RI are as cool as you'll find anywhere.

Thanks for the tip re: Providence. It will depend on which is cheaper though.

As for tickets for teams that made the Super Bowl the previous year, you are exactly right. The Indy game cost $127 / ticket for the 15 yard line, 2 rows from the top. There were tickets on the goalline of the UD for about a $100, but we were trying to get 18 tickets together. I got two Bears tickets in the UD on Ebay for $185 at the start of the season - which was a good price at the time. They're always overpriced though.

[Scottish_Bronco]

I think i may consider the Omane weekend.

But i'm also tempted by a road game this year. NYJ sticks out for me

[broncofan2438]

What weekend, or oppponent are we shooting for, for the O'Mane weekend?

[smalltowngrll]

What weekend, or oppponent are we shooting for, for the O'Mane weekend?

It all depends on what the schedule says!

Most likely it will be the home opener or soon there after. Typically one of the early games sometime in September. The schedule comes out in April. Once it's out, we'll create a thread for every game in here and we'll make the decision at that time which will be the official OM weekend!

[Blueflame]

What weekend, or oppponent are we shooting for, for the O'Mane weekend?

The usual criteria is "division rival; sometime in the first few weeks of the season". In '04, that was San Diego, in '05 and '06, it was KC, and last year it was Oakland. A Monday night game is excellent because that only means an extra day of partying... ;D

[crawdad]

rep for the extra drinking time

[Hawaii_Guy]

Man I think this offseason is going to be a long one. I have already planned out all of the hotels that I am planning on using, and I found myself looking on the different team websites looking for ticket information (by the way there is none) I knew there would not be any but I would have loved to even seen prices. One thing I did find is that the Jets do not sell single tickets they only sell to season ticket holders. If the Broncos are a drug I am not doing so well in detox.

[Scottish_Bronco]

That sucks! I thought this year i'll try my first road game. NYC on the east coast, cheapest and easiest place in the states for me to get to!Uhh

I checked the Jets website and all is not lost. They do a similar ticket exchange as the Broncos too with season ticket holders selling their seats

hey dont sweat it. I went to the Jets/browns game this year and got 4th row tickets on the 45 yard line lower level for under $150 for both. if you are an upper deck fan....you could have got those under $75 for both. I guess its a good thing the jets were horrible last year haha. Hopefully we play them later in the season and thy will suck again and the ticket prices will go down even more. Although i will say this.....parking there sucked!

The pats tickets might be a different story though.......part of me hopes they are still undefeated when we play them......

I thought of that myself just after i posted.

But with me potentially flying over from the UK. I wouldnt like to travel without a ticket

yeah i know...... i got them online 2 weeks before......so i had them in hand before i went over there.

Anyone know when the schedule comes out? I am thinking like April 11 or so, but can't confirm it...I want to start planning already.

[Sassy]

Last year it was around April 15th...but it was late...so who knows.

Our plan is Denver and ? so far...depends on the schedule...possibly San Diego or Charlotte...or Vegas ;D

It looks more and more like I may be in for the Jets game as well. I work w/ a few Jets fans who seem genuinly interested in making the road trip. It will of course depend on when the game is, but it's a strong possibility.

And again, Carolina is a likely spot...hopefully the Vols have a home game the asamw weekend. I cannot wait til April 3rd!

I am going to Cleveland April 4-6 for my God daughter's birthday, I hope the schedule does come out on the 3rd so I can start working on tickets while I am there. My brother's father in law has Brown season tickets and two years ago my brother got some from one of the banks he works with and we had "club seats". I just need my brother to put in his request early...so we get them this year also...

[27atwater]

Dave, Good luck with that. Tix were MUCH easier to comeby 2 years ago. The Browns fans are feeling it. Hopefully you ask early enough to land em.

[PaintballCLE]

haha yeah they are much harder to come by now..........like i said earlier i have season tix in the upper dawg pound.....row 30, end of aisle face value this year is 45/ea. Ill be upgrading for this game so whoever wants these can get them at face value.

anyone have any word from bum and whether or not he still has the RV?

Also, being a season ticket holder to the browns, i get to "jump in line" for group tickets.....so keep that in mind too although the minimum is 20

hope all is well with everyone

[MechanicalBull]

Last year went to the Buff game since my friend is a Bills fan so maybe this season we'll make the trip to Denver. Being here in NY the Jet game is obvious and my Mom lives right outside Charlotte so I'll go to the Panther game as well.

[broncocalijohn]

My 20 year reunion is late as in October 11th. Here is to reverse the crystal ball karma that i guessed Denver would play Chargers on Monday night and it would be Christmas Eve. THis is now to have the Angels play on the road during this playoff run (yes, they get out of the first round and on to the AL Championship) and the Raiders arent playing Broncos at Denver or Chargers at San Diego on 10/12 or 10/13. Once again, I am looking at OM weekend and Panthers game and of course Chargers in SD.

[smalltowngrll]

An ideal situation would be this...

My 20 year reunion is in Tucson on Sept. 20. I'd love for the 22nd to be a Monday night game and OM weekend. Please let it happen...purty puleeezzz!!

[BMF Bronco]

my 20 year reunion is in 2013! :wiggle:

Will I come out alive wearing orange and blue in your seats? If so, I am very interested. I'll also let my sis and bro-in-law know. He's a big Browns fan and would jump at the chance for face value seats. lemme know if ya still have em and I'll ask tomorrow.

[27atwater]

My ideal situation is Denver @ NYJ early in the season and then @ Carolina on October 5, 19 or November 9 or 30. Those are the same weekend as the 4 Vols home games I can get reasonably priced tix to (Northern Illinois, Miss St, Wyoming, Kentucky). It doesn't matter when the Cleveland game is. It will be a mad house regardless.

[Hogan11]

Omane weekend is a given.

Other than that, it's looking more and more like a return to Diego or a run to Charlotte if the schedule screws us out of it like last year.

Rising fuel costs will limit me to two games this year :(

they are yours! like i said in the PM the ticekts dont come to usually around august. But ill make sure to save them for you.

I hope the upgrade works out, seeing as how you just sold your tickets...

[27atwater]

Much obliged.

Also, are you going to the Bills/49ers? That dude who was w/ me in Indy is a 49ers fan so we're likely going if the Broncos aren't around that week. 1-If yer going, maybe we can meet up @ Erie and carpool the rest of the way. 2-If yer NOT going, I'm prolly willing to take yer tix off yer hands.

honestly it would depend on when it is and whats going on that weekend.

Ill let ya know one way or another.

But that would be cool to ride together.

[Hawaii_Guy]

Kevin, we should start taking a head count on the games and see if any of them will have more then 20. Just put a +1 for every game anyone is sure they are going to and will need tickets.

Browns - 2
Oakland - 2
KC - 2
San Diego - 2
Cheaters - 2
Panthers - 2
Atlanta - 2
NY Jets - 2

If we don't end up getting group tickets...... miles i can send you money through paypal or a money order or something when its time to buy tickets if you wanna add one on for me so i have someone to sit with.

[27atwater]

Not 100% yet, but I may be able to get as many as 5 to make the trip w/ me to NYJ. If you guys are looking at group tix for NY...get w/ me prior to ordering. It will of course depend on time of year.

beantown bronco I am going to assume your from the boston area........got a question for you.......im going to boston july30-aug 3rd for some red sox games.......already have tickets........but i was just curious if the westin at copley place is semi-near fenway? Went to the alcs games last year (yes im from cleveland but a sox fan) and i decided to stay outside boston and just drive in for the game....BIG mistake. 3 hours sittin on the turnpike then 2 more hours looking for parking......finally finding a place over a mile away and it was $75 to park lol. So im trying to avoid that this time. Any info from anyone would help.

thanks

UNITED was $259.00 for the same dates...and similiar flight times.

Frontier is the shiat. I refuse to fly Southwest since I saw the news a few weeks ago about them having to pay the huge fine for not grounding the planes that had cracks in the fuselage and they were still flying them. Nice and unsafe.

[Beantown Bronco]

beantown bronco I am going to assume your from the boston area........got a question for you.......im going to boston july30-aug 3rd for some red sox games.......already have tickets........but i was just curious if the westin at copley place is semi-near fenway? Went to the alcs games last year (yes im from cleveland but a sox fan) and i decided to stay outside boston and just drive in for the game....BIG mistake. 3 hours sittin on the turnpike then 2 more hours looking for parking......finally finding a place over a mile away and it was $75 to park lol. So im trying to avoid that this time. Any info from anyone would help.

thanks

Nice hotel and a nice location for heading to Fenway or hitting the local shops/restaurants/bars. Probably a 1/2 mile to 3/4 of a mile to walk from there to Fenway, or a couple of quick T stops if you are taking the train. You definitely won't have to worry about the problems you had before.

Feel free to PM me any time from now until then if you need any recommendations for restaurants, bars, whatever.

[smalltowngrll]

I don't know if anyone has suggested this yet...

but, if you plan on attending Orange Mane weekend in Denver, then I'd suggest booking a hotel for every weekend in September right now. THEN, once the schedule comes out in two weeks, and we know WHEN it will actually be, you can cancel the other reservations and you beat the hotels at jacking up their prices for the home games!

Cracks in the fuselage...HA...I flew in a C130 last week where I could see out bullet holes. Thats an interesting flight.

[27atwater]

I would seriously like to try and get a group ticket thing goin in NYJ. The folks I talk to here say they are in...regradless of the date. I will drive out as long as it's not late December (6 hr drive). Once April 3rd hits, I will assist in planning any way I can.

[broncofan2438]

So, I am sure the question has been asked but, when does the schedule come out

I was actually planning on hitting that game. Let me know

[Sassy]

April 3rd. TWO WEEKS!

[broncofan2438]

Kevin, we should start taking a head count on the games and see if any of them will have more then 20. Just put a +1 for every game anyone is sure they are going to and will need tickets.

Browns - 2
Oakland - 2
KC - 2
San Diego - 2
Cheaters - 2
Panthers - 2
Atlanta - 2
NY Jets - 2

Jets game + 3.........for now

[27atwater]

2438...is that +3 in addition to the 2 already shown? If so


JETS=2 (Hawaii)+1(ibleed)+3(2438)+6/7(27atwater). That looks to be 12-13 already. Looks like we should easily be able to get enough folks together. Hopefully the Jets will at least sell some group tix even though the individual seats are gonzo.

[Hawaii_Guy]

Billy is going to be in for 2 also if he knows it or not..

Yea, three it is. My fiance's godfather lives in Jersey. We are planning on flying out there

[27atwater]

well...once Billy realizes he's going, that makes 14-15. If they'll saell group seats, I don't think we'll have any issue gettin em. Again though...it'd have to be before mid/late December. Roads aren't too good in the PA mountains that time of year.

[coachmastermind]

I don't know if anyone has noticed but they have pulled the April 3rd listing on NFL.com for the NFL network... hope it's not delayed too long!

Sorry I can't make it. Not much of a football fan - way too violent! I can't believe they make men wear those tight pants like they're some sort of object. Seriously, we'll see when the schedule comes out. NY is not in my top 4 right now.

As for group tickets, some teams require a minimum of 20 people in your group. Also, make sure you find a NY / NJ address to request them so you don't get screwed over like in Indy. Or, at least find out if they have an "in-state" only policy.

[Bronco Billy]

I originally saw a May date about a month ago. I haven't seen the April date that Sassy mentions. I hope Sassy's right though.

Maybe I'll have to get on their season ticket waiting list. Some of us are in PA though, given that NJ is such a small state, I'd hope that their rule would be regional/local rather than NY or NJ only.

I've seen it a couple of places...the latest being in the Rochester Paper discussing the upcoming Bills games in Toronto.....so I'm hoping they don't push it back like they did last year...that created havoc for me personally. This year I'm trying to beat rising fuel costs, so any push back would be just wonderful news ::)

[Hawaii_Guy]

The reason I know billy is going is because he once said he will drive up to 1,000 Miles from Chicago to see a game but nothing more.
New England 985
New York - 791
Cleveland - 345
Atlanta - 754
Panthers - 756
KC - 526
San Diego - 2079
Oakland - 2124
Denver - 989

If he is true to his word we should see him at 14 games this year... Billy are you true to your word?

yeah billy.....I'm doing it and im driving solo to most of the games...... you have no excuse since you have someone who can split the driving with you. HAHA

PS On the scedule.....i always thought it came out after the draft.......me and my friends get together and usually have a draft party.......i don't ever remember the schedule being out before then. But then again i can be wrong.

Kev...My minivan fits 6 comfortably and 7 not quite as comfortably. If we have an extra spot for the trip to NYC, you have a ride buddy. I'll keep ya posted.

As of now it is me, my wife's bro and his g/f and 2 of my buddies (who are Jets fans). IF my wife decides to end her protest she would be #6. I'm guessing we could fit ya. I MAY even rent a conversion van since it's only for an overnight. It'd give us much more room and if we split the cost among 6-8 people, it wouldn't be that bad.

Oh thats cool........thanks for the offer and keep me posted. Although i dont mind driving, in fact i kinda like it so thats not as big of deal as going to the game, being dressed in orange and blue, and then having to sit by myself. HAHA....... i really have to try harder to convert some of my friends ( who are all browns fans) into broncos fans. lol

Okay, this was taken out of context. Miles (Hawaii Guy) suggested I drive to San Diego for the Christmas Eve game because airfare was so high. I stated that I would only drive up to 1000 miles for a Broncos game. Anything more, I would have to fly.

I wish I had the means to go to every game; I'd be there. Unfortunately, this is not the case. With my work schedule and Julie being a teacher, it really depends on how the schedule lays itself out.

Billy's Tip of the Day: Never trust anyone named after the mascot! :P :pimp:

[Meck77]

Anybody have a good spot for a bus next season?hmmm...

[Hawaii_Guy]

Meck,

You could look at taking the bus to NYC or New England and pick Billy, Bum, and Kevin up along the way... that could be cool.. Or the game I am looking forward to the most is the Panthers game.....

Billy, as for your statements don't be sad that your mom did not love you enough to name you after the Mascot..

[PaintballCLE]

Ill be in Denver for the Mane weekend, i really want to try and make to a road game as well.

Going to SD is a road game i guess, but im so close it wont feel like it.

Those SD tailgates are a great time.....Broncocalijohn does a great job with the tickets and tailgate he puts on. It's one of the major reasons (if not THE major reason) why Sass & I keep coming back to it. Unless scheduled on a day that's impossible for us (like last year) more than likely we'll be at this game again this year.

Yeah, last year sucked for y'all with the game being on Christmas eve and all.

The other years ive gone, ive thrown my own tailgate with friends.

I load up the truck and get there early, this year im doing the same with John.

Loading up his car isn't going to work this time around, im driving and posting up.

It'll just be a whole lot easier....

Plus, it makes it much better for out of towner's.

I tell ya, Calijohn offering up a package deal with the tix & tailgate helps us out of towners tremendously....it's totally worth whatever extra it costs, especially for someone like me who's coming in all the way from the east coast.

I just hope we don't get screwed with another holiday game again this year.

He does, but on game day, he is all over the place.

I'm going to make it easy for him this year.

I hope so as well, i don't mind it on a holiday but having to run home after the game is inconvenient.

[FADERPROOF]

Already have tickets to the Cleveland game, I have a co-worker friend that is a season ticket holder and has sold me his 2 tickets for that game.

Can't wait, haven't been to a Broncos game since the MNF game against Cincinnati way back in 2004.

I know the season opener has been announced..Skins @ Giants, so you'd think they are on schedule for a timely release. But I'm reading opposing stories on this thread.

The highlight games of the NFL's first weekend will be announced Monday during league meetings in Palm Beach, Fla. The rest of the schedule will be announced later next month.

The NFL is expected to release its national television schedule for the season's opening weekend and Thanksgiving tomorrow, during the first day of the league's owner's meetings.

The rest of schedule was tentatively slated to be released on Thursday, though that has come off the NFL Network television schedule since.

Hogan,

I checked the Padres schedule to see if Pirates are playing during September month (pirates never play in October!) and sure enough, they play the last weekend in September! Now, you have to pray that a 1/16th chance the Denver game falls on the same weekend! about a 6% chance. Good luck on that one but it is at least a shot.

You know, I would love to see a game @ Petco...but Denver never plays in Diego before Nov./Dec. much less have it line up with the Buccos being in town at the same time. (I'm ignoring that Oct. remark)

yep. would that be your idiot friend? Dallas honk. I havent got prices but i think face value is $100 and probably sell for $60. I am glad Dallas is playing so I know i can get rid of all the tickets without losing $2500 like i normally do. I would have same as we sat for the playoff game.
